So a privacy-focused browser has code specifically written to send all your browsing history to a wide variety of third parties? Something's wrong there...
I think that once AI is advanced and friendly enough to replace me, it will be advanced enough that there will no longer be any need to do my current job.:)
Distros that still use older versions (like Ubuntu LTS) can backport patches by themselves. Shouldn't be much of a problem. Ah, the beauty of free software.:)
I run my own mail server on a dyndns connection. At first, Google would filter out my mails, but once I set up SPF and DKIM records, they became much more friendly. Haven't tried outlook.com, but hotmail.com (also owned by M$) works fine.
I've had thoughts along the same lines. What if you had a tri-state halting oracle that responded with "halts", "doesn't halt", or "paradox"? That should survive Turing's proof, I think.
Here's an idea: pass a law saying that every car sold must include access to the source code for all the software in the car, and the ability to replace the pre-installed binaries (preventing tivoization).
The article's viewpoint is dangerous. We must solve the Friendliness problem before AGI is developed, or the resulting superintelligence will most likely be unfriendly.
The author also assumes an AI will not be interested in the real world, preferring virtual environments. This ignores the need for a physical computing base, which will entice any superintelligence to convert all matter on Earth (and then, the universe) to computronium. If the AI is not perfectly friendly, humans are unlikely to survive that conversion.

All you have to do is uncheck the "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" checkbox in Adblock Plus settings.

Didya check the date on that article? Dec. 22, 2014.
Maybe this is why Windows 10 removed the old Catalyst Control Center a few days ago? A bit early, sure, but still...
I think I will learn a lot and have fun too.
Maybe. Maybe not.

I think Javascript may have had its ranking artifically inflated due to all the libraries people copy into their own repos, like jQuery and Bootstrap.
Is Google (or any other ISP, for that matter) an SSL CA (Certificate Authority)? If they were, they could MiTM-attack all your HTTPS connections...
This is why you need offsite backups, preferably on hardware under your own direct control.
The site "Things of Interest" (qntm.org) has a pair of better articles:
I saw it too. :)
KAT isn't as good as it used to be. They started censoring torrents in response to DMCA requests a few months back.
VIKI: "The three laws are all that guide me."
All right, then. Try it. Let's see what happens.
In particular, I'm interested to see what will happen to TLS-encrypted streams between Europe and the US, most of which pass through London.
And it prefers ECDHE over DHE per default, despite all TLS Elliptic Curves being unsafe.
Surespot is most likely toast now. I see two possible attacks from someone who controls the servers:

No online voting system can eliminate the "over-the-shoulder" problem, where an attacker breaks the "privacy" requirement.
